There was no way Alan Shearer was letting this one go without passing comment.

Shearer was on BBC punditry duty for the FA Cup tie between Derby and Premier League champions Leicester last night.

Savage played three years at Ewood Park and scored one goal in 76 appearances. Shearer's ever so gentle burn definitely got a lot of traction. Some of it was gentle ribbing https://twitter.com/TOMTHEHAMMER67/status/825281477030117376 Some of it was plain wrong https://twitter.com/Orpingtondad/status/825282124676726784 Savage is not going to let this one lie...
